Officers said Luciano, who received hospital treatment for minor cuts, ran a stop sign and struck the Grof car broadside. Luciano was remanded to the Butler County correctional institution in lieu of bond after an arraignment before a district magistrate.

GROVE, Robert Moses "Lefty"
300-Game Winner Lefty Grove Dies
Robert Moses "Lefty" Grove, generally considered the greatest left-handed pitcher in baseball history, is dead. The 75-year-old Grove, a native of Lonaconing, MD., died Thursday while watching television at the home of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert G. Grove, where be had lived for 14 years. The funeral service and burial will take place at the Frostburg, Md., Memorial Cemetery on Monday. One of the giants of an era that also included Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby and Jimmy Foxx, Grove, a member of baseball's Hall of Fame, led the American League in victories and won-lost percentage four times each, in strikeouts seven times and in earned-run average nine times. He was the star pitcher for Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics teams, which broke the dynasty of the Ruth-led Yankees in the late 1920s and won successive pennants in 1929-30-31. He prided himself on the fact that he yielded only nine homers to Babe Ruth in 10 seasons. Grove had a 4-2 record in World Series competition but is best remembered for his smoking fast ball— with temper to match— and his remarkable consistency. He won 20 or more games in eight seasons, had successive 28-5 and 31-4 records in 1930 and 1931 for a composite 59-9 for the two seasons and finished his career with a lifetime 300-140 mark good for a .682 percentage. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1947. Warren Spahn and Eddie Plank are the only other left handers in the game's history who won 300 or more games. Grove, a star for Baltimore of the International League for five seasons during a period when the Orioles' famous club owner, Jack Dunn, paid major league salaries, was purchased by the Athletics for $100,000 in 1925. One of four sons of a coal miner, Lefty entered organized baseball with Martinsburg in the Blue Ridge League in 1920 and went to Baltimore in the International League the next season. Always a fierce competitor, Grove sometimes refused to speak to his teammates for days after a losing game and at times ripped up clubhouse furniture after a defeat. He mellowed in his old age and was a frequent visitor to Cooperstown where he regaled young reporters with tales of a bygone era. Grove is survived by one daughter, two sisters, one brother, a granddaughter and three great granddaughters. His son, Robert, died in 1972.

GROVER, W. A. (see also HAWKINS & SHAFFERMAN)
Two, one of Cumberland, were killed, and a third so badly scalded that he died before he could be removed from the scene, in a collision between a light engine and a runaway string of freight cars on the B&O railroad at Rowlesburg, W. Va., seven miles east of Grafton, early this morning. Engineer Shafferman, of Newburg, instantly killed. Flagman Herbert Hawkins, of Springdale street, Cumberland, taken dead from the wreckage. W. A. Grover, of Newburg, fireman on Shafferman's engine, so badly scalded that he died at 12:40 o'clock, this afternoon. The flesh was literally cooked on Grover's body. The physicians feared to attempt his removal to the Grafton hospital, so he lay near the scene of the wreck until his death. When taken from the wreckage early this morning, physicians said Glover could live but a few minutes, but his wonderful stamina and nerve kept him alive for hours, though he suffered the most intense torments of pain. The three men constitute the crew of engine No. 1838, which was running light, carrying only a caboose. The engine was following a train up the grade, drawn by engines Nos. 1824 and 1844. It is thought that a coupling of the freight broke about 30 cars from the rear. The broken portion of the train did not hold its automatic brake pressure, but started backward down the hill. The crew of the broken freight got to safety, but the men on the following engine had no warning until the runaway cars hurried into them, going at terrific speed. The 30 cars were badly wrecked, the locomotive reduced almost to junk and the tracks seriously damaged. The westbound track was opened at 11:30 o'clock this morning and the eastbound track was cleared at 1:20 this afternoon. A rigid investigation is already being pushed by the railroad. It is the worst wreck the B&O has had on the west end in years. No official report has been filed.
